The problem is likely to be caused by the configuration of the host machine - not the virtual machine. &nbsp;Which OS is running on the host and which VMWare product+version are you using?

I am running win 7 64 bit and VMware2

I am guessing by VMware2 you mean VMware Server 2.x. The article I posted above should work perfectly in your environment -- it worked for me anyway. But I also must comment that VMware Server is not actaully supported on a workstation OS like Windows 7, Vista, or XP - it requires a server OS like Windows 2003 in order to function correctly. I have lots of posts where folks have had issues with VMware Server on a desktop OS that were resolved when they put their VMware Server on a Server OS.<br />
<br />
Personally I have had good luck with VMware Server 1.x and 2.x on XP 64-bit, and VMware Server 2.x on Vista 64-bit.<br />
<br />
I would recommend that you install VMware Workstation or VMware Player instead of VMware Server on Windows 7.<br />
<br />
Good Luck

Mounting USB drive in VMware running Ubuntu Server

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
